Entrevista Robert Fripp

Audio Source 

Here we have the tenth show of this 1995 European Tour – While waiting for definitive notes from Sid the Smith, Stormy’s thoughts are as follows. Paris is great on any night, but with Crimson in town it’s rockin’ A good rendition of Discipline sets up the evening and we’re away!

His personal highlights were, yes you guessed it Discipline, a Solid Coda Marine 475, a Solid Red ( solid must be another drumming term) the Thrakking and a Funky People.Overall, a very good show

King Crimson "Jazz Club Chesterfield" England September 7, 1969 (2010)

When King Crimson appeared in Chesterfield, the recording of their album had been completed though some post-production work was still being undertaken. The album however was still a month away from being released. So outside of a couple of appearances on BBC Radio 1, and word of mouth, the audience would have had little idea of what to expect at Crimson concert.

King Crimson "Zeleste, Barcelona" June 27, 2000

It's a fact that Barcelona is one of the most exciting cities in Europe and it's also a fact that King Crimson is one the most exciting bands in concert. [endtease]So, put these two incontrovertible facts together and we have ourselves a show with a real "Wow!" factor. This is King Crimson on take-no-prisoners mode at a sell out gig in a city they last played 18 years ago

King Crimson "Live In Newcastle" 1972 CLUB48 - Collectors' Club 2019

King Crimson "Live in Argentina" 1994 CLUB47 - 2012 Collectors' Club

As any fan fortunate enough to have seen the double trio lineup will tell you – even by King Crimson’s high standards – this was a spectacular live band. While a return of King Crimson had been planned as early as 1990, it was only in 1992 that the idea of a double trio line-up emerged as the ideal and it took until 1994 to get all the necessary musicians and plans sufficiently in place.

King Crimson "Live at the Marquee" 1971 CLUB46 - 2015 Collectors' Club

Arguably the greatest find in Mister Stormy’s trawl through the Crimson archives: uncovering a previously unheard set on the second night at the band’s stint at The Marquee.

King Crimson "Live in Toronto" 1974 CLUB45 - 2011 Collectors' Club

Captured on a soundboard recording live at the Massey Hall, Toronto, Ontario, Canada on June 24th, 1974 during the last tour of Fripp-Bruford-Wetton-Cross line up for Red album

King Crimson "Live in New Haven, CT " 2003 CLUB44 - 2011 Collectors' Club

You know it's been one hell of gig when Robert Fripp gets off his stool, wanders centre stage and says "It's exceptional nowadays that I step to a microphone and say 'good evening, Hippies', but at the completion of this stage of King Crimson touring in America, perhaps something more is needed." At which point he holds up a bra that's been thrown onto the stage during the show and then proceeds to give away the undergarment with a KC trivia quiz! - Sid Smith.

King Crimson "Rehearsals & Blows" 1983 CLUB42 - 2016 Collectors' Club

Taken together with The Champaign-Urbana Sessions (CLUB21), the work-in-progress sketches, outtakes, bright ideas, dead-ends and cul-de-sacs gathered here provide a kind of counter-factual, alternative history to King Crimson’s catalogue; a shadow album that traces those points where things came together or fell apart in the trying, where ideas either bloomed or withered

King Crimson "Live Zurich," 1973 CLUB41 -2009 Collectors' Club

For the 1972- 1974 version of King Crimson, developing and writing new material was, as Bill Bruford memorably noted in his autobiography, 'excruciating, teeth-pullingly difficult music-making."When The Mincer appeared on Starless & Bible Black it represented a new way of approaching the process for Crimson; taking live improvisations and then editing and over-dubbing new parts to create an interesting hybrid.In an exclusive interview, Crimson violinist David Cross talks about this approach in the liner notes to this concert.

King Crimson "Live in Boston, MA"1972 CLUB40 -2009 Collectors' Club

As the Yes bandwagon rolled into Boston on the last date of an extensive tour, it was King Crimson who opened up for them. When Yes took took to the stage that night and Jon Anderson announced "That was a really fine set by King Crimson wasn't it? They are a truly great band" he wasn't wrong.

King Crimson "Live in Milan" 2003 CLUB39 - 2008 Collectors' Club

"That is what makes this such a great show. The light and shade within the set, the dynamics within the numbers themselves and the thoughtful pacing of the different numbers. This isn't a band going through the motions. This is a band with no passengers, actively listening to each other, taking risks and working with each other to push boundaries" - John Kimber.

King Crimson "Live in Philadelphia PA" 1996 CLUB38 - 2008 Collectors' Club

Despite having played over 150 gigs, and released four albums it was all over far too soon as the double-trio King Crimson came to Philadelphia - a city which had seen some storming performances in the past - to give its final performance in front of an audience.

King Crimson "Live at the Pier, NYC" 1982 CLUB37 - 2008 Collectors' Club

At the end of the summer day, the boisterous young NYC area rockers lined up to file onto Pier 84, jutting out hundreds of feet into the Hudson River. As we faced the stage, and Hell's Kitchen and Midtown Manhattan, the sun was setting behind our backs over the New Jersey Palisades. Larry Snead (interviewed by Sid Smith).
